  • Yield: 32 Servings
40 20 60

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • FILLING:
  • 1/4 cup dried currants
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup seedless raspberry jam
  • 2/3 cup finely chopped pecans
  • 1/4 cup miniature semisweet chocolate chips

Directions

  • In a large bowl, beat butter and cream cheese until smooth. Combine flour and salt; gradually add to creamed mixture and mix well.
  • Divide dough in half; form into two balls. Flatten to 5-in. circles; wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for 8 hours or overnight.
  • Place currants in a small bowl. Cover with boiling water; let stand for 5 minutes. Drain well and set aside. Combine sugar and cinnamon; set aside.
  • On a lightly floured surface or pastry mat, roll one portion of dough into an 11-in. circle. Brush with half of the jam. Sprinkle with half of the cinnamon-sugar, pecans, chocolate chips and currants; press down gently.
  • Cut into 16 wedges. Roll up wedges from the wide end and place point side down 2 in. apart on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Curve ends to form a crescent. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes before baking. Repeat with remaining dough and filling.
  • Bake at 350° for 18-22 minutes or until golden brown. Remove to wire racks to cool. Yield: 32 cookies.
